I would love to have MMS on my Iphone, as there are many people I like to send pictures to that don’t have email support on there phone. Almost every far less expensive phone has MMS.

We need apps to run in the background!!! I want chat clients to notify me when I receive a message when I’m not using the app! This is crucial for so many aspects of the iPhone.

there are a lot of things the iPhone needs. A battery that lasts, landscape mode for SMS and email, a gps that works, 3g that is as fast as it claims, fewer dropped calls, and mms are just a few thing apple could start working on. It’s just a shame they keep stringing us along with software updates. With each update apple claims that the past problems are suppose to be fixed, however that’s not the case. I just want this 400 dollar battery hog to work the way it is suppose to.

I don’t think MMS is still needed though.. With 3G and Email, it’s more powerful than MMS. Copy and Paste is what we need.

where-the-F**K is copy/past and MMS

Apple needs to learn that people like copy/past and MMS, video recording, use itunes songs as ringtones, and did i say copy and past

2 Thoughts:

Hopefully the podcast feature will be available. Also hope that it is not via WiFi only, but time will tell.
If you are deleting an application, isn't there normally a reason why you would be (i.e. didn't like the application, etc.)? I can see this being useful for applications that crash or do not work as advertised, but my guess is that it will negatively skew the ratings downwards. Maybe the solution is to have a built in Ratings section within Settings or somewhere else.

Podcaster was rejected because all content management must go through iTunes. All music, all apps, all movies, etc.

It's about time.

I don't think that there will be a 3G restriction, short of file size. AT&T wants a piece of the music download revenue hence the reason why the iPhone music store will only via WiFi. Since there's no money attached to Podcasts it opens the door to work similarly to the App Store.

I'm very much looking forward to getting 'classic' versions of TiPB Podcast downloaded to my iPhone directly from the 'Podcast store'.

Finally, the inability to access the podcast section of the store has always puzzled me. Guess this is why Podcaster was rejected.
